Got almost 16" here. Was successful to remove the snow with a front end loader. The trick for me to not remove gravel when moving the snow is to have the bucket tip up a bit and not dig down into the gravel. Yes it leaves a bit of snow there, but nothing you can't drive over.
Unfortunately on my driveway the loader is key to lift the snow over fencing and dump it. It does take longer to dump than just plow, but I don't have much place for the snow to go if I just plow.
